Happy Thanksgiving, Paul. It is good to hear from you. I am glad to know that my posts have been of some help to you. I want to answer some of your questions, so let me go to that now. When I first got MD, I was diagnosed with scabies. So, there is confusion as to whether I really had MD or scabies in the beginning. So, since I got dx’d with scabies, I was prescribed permethrin cream and it was advised that all in the home should also and to go on the scabies protocol which meant everyone separated into their own rooms, all laundry done separately, and no more sitting next to each other, sheets were all washed daily, wear clothing and use towels only once, use paper towels instead of hand towels and kitchen towels.
While my son never really showed any symptoms (I thought I saw small skin colored bumps on his belly and doc looked and wasn’t sure it was even scabies or just dry skin), my hubby did seem to have some initial symptoms. He seemed to have small white grains when he would scratch at an itch. So, I had him also go on the full Logos/silver/MSM protocol (no MMS), but he only stayed on it maybe a month. He also went on the diet and stopped consuming beer and wheat and dairy for the most part. He always cheated a little with dairy. But again after about a month or two, he felt totally normal, started thinking he never had anything in the first place. During that time he lost weight and started to exercise, he was feeling and looking good. The whole idea of MD was hard for him to accept and he never believed it was contagious. But, he cooperated, begrudgingly at times. It was very stressful on him as he had a very hard time adjusting to our new lifestyle which was sleeping in different rooms, all the new groceries and cooking I required and demanded, and the careful attention to laundry and cleaning. He about went bonkers and times were tough. But, through the grace of God and our strong connection to our church and our faith in God, we made it through. And for many months now, he’s been adjusted to the lifestyle change and helps out with cooking the protocol friendly foods, knows the groceries to buy, knows to check labels, does his own laundry.
Our son handled it well and it was hard on him too as of course he was aware of the situation and the associated tension and fear. Once I started to feel better and got a handle on the new lifestyle, the stress went down. But, I stopped having him in my bed to watch tv, I didn’t get in his bed to cuddle, I always wore full clothing when I was in his room, and tickled his back at night with a backscratcher that I wiped down with Kleen Green each time. I would give him quick hugs. It was very hard on me not to be able to touch him. I cried alone many times. More recently, I read on this forum how one of our mom members used to take a shower and then wrap a towel up around her child and hug him while she knew she was cleanest. I never did that but thought that I would have done it if I had thought about it in the beginning. I put my son on Colostrom for about 45 days and Flora which he is still taking (one a day). He can’t swallow pills so I open them up and stir them into keifer.
I never withheld dairy or gluten/corn from him, though he had much less of it since his dad and I weren’t eating it. But for school lunches, he’d still have his regular sandwiches and snacks and juice boxes. He still ate candy on holiday occasions or birthday parties.
Lastly, I’ll say that during the first 8 months (this started before finding Mel’s website during the time I thought I had scabies) I wore the disposable latex free gloves when doing my laundry (moving clothes from washer to dryer) and when doing my son’s laundry. I still did his laundry and made his bed. I used the gloves while cooking, so I had a box of gloves in kitchen and in laundry room. I had my son and all of us only wearing clothes once and then putting into hampers (lined with trashbags) so they got washed after every wearing, and again, all washed separately from one another.
And, I would sit in living room with them and watch tv, but we all were assigned our own seat and never would we sit in another’s place. We also were fortunate enough to all have our own bathrooms and we did not use each other’s bathrooms. I cleaned my son’s bathroom and mine. Hubby in charge of his own. I drove in the cars with them and just carried my bottle of Kleen Green and sprayed around on the flooring and the seats before and/or after driving. And, at dinner table, we also did the assigned seating thing and I set myself a little farther away from them.
That is really the nuts and bolts of the beginning months. I started the scabies protocol at the beginning of the year Jan 2014 and it wasn’t until July that I found and started the protocol here. So, I think I slowed the spread of it in my family by separating sleeping, laundry, and bathrooms all those months while I thought I had scabies.
Eventually I stopped wearing the gloves all together for laundry or cooking, started having longer hugs with immediate family and hugging friends and extended family again, I tickle my son’s back in the last 3 or 4 months with my bare hand with no worries. I hug him many times a day. Kids need and deserve lots of physical touch. Now looking to share the bedroom with my hubby again, but will still keep our laundry all separate for a while more or maybe permanently. Still only wear things once and wash it. Hubby doesn’t, though. I feel soon I can start wearing things more than once. Don't know that I'll ever feel like using towels more than once ever again. You get use to feeling very clean and bacteria free.
I hope this has been helpful. May God bless and protect you and your family. And may you enjoy a very happy Thanksgiving!
